SM Entertainment was found by a korean called Lee Soo Man(currently manager/boss in the company and manager of DBSK). it is often referred to as a money sucking company by many. why? because the management company for the korean celebs aka singers (see tags listed below), releases merchandises/singles/albums like there's no tomorrow thus tempting fangirls/fans of the celebrities to keep ordering the items. and after which causing people to almost declare bankruptcy.

BUT it groomed talented koreans to what they are now - singers who are well-known all over the world. (therefore i don't mind the money loss anymore ;D)
